Here's my build of the 'Lead Sled'. Unfortunately there is a roll to the right when the landing gear is up, and I have no clue what is causing it. Otherwise it flies okay, but the vert stab has a bit of wobble. AG1 & AG2 are your landing and wingtip lights, and AG3 drops the tanks. The paint scheme is loosely based on an Italian F-84.
Edit: To fix the roll problem, do as BogdanX said and drop the rotator hinges for the main gear down a bit, I put my value for the vertical axis at 2.89 in the XML, should be parts #76 & 82. Also if you happen to be having a weird effect with the engine exhaust like I am, change the exhaust scale to "1,1,1" for part #17. Sorry I didn't catch these issues before uploading.

@BogdanX one of mine, an A-4
@BogdanX can I ask you to take a look at my latest build to see if you can tweak it to eliminate a little residual roll it has?
@BogdanX hmm, that makes sense
@BogdanX why would the position of the LG hinges cause a roll?
Nice Guizzo special livery.. The Guizzo was an aerobatic patrol which was part of the aeronautica militare from 1953-1955.. Nice vintage plane!
Looks great but the performance could be worked on
@BogdanX I probably spent an hour messing with the plane trying to get the roll to stop happening, and you solve it in 5 minutes haha. Seriously though thank you
Wow great job!
Sweet!
How are you not gold or platinum yet! These builds are awesome!
